Meteorologists explain that storm "Eowyn" will go through a process known as "bombogenesis", when the air pressure drops by at least 24 millibars in 24 hours.In this case, an even more dramatic decline is predicted.With all this in mind, Ireland is bracing for disruptions to transport and infrastructure, as well as risks of flooding in coastal areas and possible power outages.~940mb, #Éowyn will be the strongest storm across the globe Friday. Wind gusts comparable, if not stronger than #Halifax's record of 143 km/h when Hurricane Juan made landfall in 2003. @NateTWN @MurphTWN @weathernetwork pic.twitter.com/tl9X4z1UT6— Rachel Modestino TWN (@ThatMetGirl) January 23, 2025 Storm Eowyn, which is developing into a "bomb cyclone", is threatening the west coast of the country with extreme winds and potentially life-threatening conditions.The Irish Met Office has issued a red alert for the entire country - the highest level of alert.Gale force winds of up to 200 km/h are expected, especially along the west coast.Rare red warning for parts of UK ahead of Storm Eowyn - with tornado and 'danger to life' alerts - Sky News https://t.co/pJiGrx3dAx— George (@George63936255) January 23, 2025 Experts warn this could be one of the most destructive storms to hit Ireland in decades.A red warning has been issued for all Irish regions, and waves higher than 12 meters are expected along the coast and extremely low atmospheric pressure. ⚠️ Attention ⚠️Both Seedtech sites will be closed tomorrow due to storm Eowyn.Stay safe. pic.twitter.com/N9LkGkplPU— Seed Technology Ltd (@seedtechnology) January 23, 2025 Residents were advised to avoid unnecessary travel during the storm, stay away from coastal areas, prepare supplies in case of power outages and follow official warnings and notifications. An amber wind warning has been issued for the north east as Storm Éowyn approaches.
